Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6262670, member: 430261"] I started playing free-rolls on Pokerstars, and it took a while to even make the money bubble, but I studied Poker Video's and read a couple of book's and before I knew it I was making the money in them. Not a lot, but free money is always sweeter, and I kept playing all the free-rolls I could, many with several thousand players. I managed to build my winnings up to around $30 Dollars and then tried some Micro Tournaments, buying in for a few Cents, even some as low as 10 Cent games. It was around that time I thought of going to some live games and putting what I had learned into practice, hoping to make some real money, It was hard work and I did get some good results early on, otherwise I may have given it up all together, but wins and losses comes in swing's, like the saying "swings and roundabouts" but I soon realised the meaning of "Variance" and you have to accept that sometimes you cannot win no matter how hard you try. But to push your bankroll to the limit is the worst thing you can do, being in control of your bankroll is the most important aspect when playing Poker, because you can afford a few downswings if you are in control and can wait it out until you start to win again. I lost interest in free-rolls when I played Live games and didn't return to on-line Poker until the Covid Pandemic forced all the Pubs, Clubs and Casinos to shut, but I thought if I am as good as I think I am, I should be able to win On-line like I did in live games. Having just over $200 Dollars in my Pokerstars account I gave myself the challenge of doubling it while the Pandemic lasted, and started to play £1 Dollar buy-ins and the Cardschat free-rolls, I now have well over $600 Dollars. It is possible because I proved it to myself, and even though I still prefer to play the free-rolls, because I only play On-line for fun (S**t's and Giggle's) I play the odd buy-in when I am in the right mood and frame of mind. Behind it all though is Bankroll Management, Never buying in for more than 1% of your total bankroll, most of the time a lot less than 1%. I am in no hurry to "Get rich quick" because at my age I know there is no such thing, If there was, then people with these ideas would keep the secret to themselves, not sell it for a few Dollars On-line. I am giving away this advice for FREE! It is up to you, if you want to believe it or not. When the fun Stops, STOP! [/QUOTE]
